Here you go, just paste it into notepad and save it, put .ini at the end of the file name as you save it. Then put the file into a folder and put that folder into rainmeters skins folder in program files.

If you have gmail, scroll down towards the bottom and put your username and password in.

That is a cracking alternative to 10 ft HUD Simon. I've replaced mine with that ini file but I've added 2 more cores to it for my quad. probably wanting to get rid of the pwr and uptime and replace it with another HD or two along with getting a temp reading of my system. Nice work nonetheless though

I'm not using anything for the temps yet. I'm still to figure that part out

I'm using apps rather than anything written into rainmeter, got coretemp, realtemp and something else.

something daft already!! · 10 Jun 2009 at 21:41

Having a little play with windows 7 and Virtual XP in dual screen mode.

This may be of some use to you. [url=http://dirtdawg90.deviantart.com/art/System-Temperature-Monitor-109150203]clickerty[/url] you'll need speedfan with that too. [url=http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php]click[/url]

I've tried it before but if I remember that acpi temps wasn't working correctly. :( So I just stick with hardware monitor.

I'm fiddling about with the temp monitor just now. getting the readings across all 4 cores. what I'm tempted to do is add it onto your ini file so that the temp is read underneath each core usage but I'm still wanting to get rid of the pwr and uptime on your skin

Sounds cool, get a pic up when your done and yer just delete the stuff you don't want mate and refresh the skin.
